Great war movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2003)

I think this movie is one of the best if not the best war movie of all times. 1: it's not a history forgery as so many more recent warmovies, i.e. U-571. 2: The americans speak american, the british english, the french the germans german, makes the whole thing much more realistic. Americans speaking with a horrid german accent doesn't make for a good movie. 3: Making it in b/w works really well as most of us at least have some documentaries from WWII and they're mostly in b/w and since it follows the events quite well, it really works. 4: and it's nice to see how we follow people all over from the GI Joe, the tommy... and to the top level generals. Of course being a movie about a well known historical event once easily guess most of the coming events, but that doesn't diminish this movie at all.
